Evidence-based Intervention for Diabetes Prevention
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pre-diabetes, Lifestyle Risk Reduction, Diet Prevention of Metabolic Diseases
In brief
The goal of this behavioral intervention trial is to develop strategies to decrease the incidence of diabetes within the UAE. The investigators will investigate the effectiveness of a group-based telehealth intervention facilitated by a health coach in adults at risk for developing diabetes who live in the UAE. The investigators will conduct a single-arm feasibility trial of the Evidence-based Intervention for Diabetes prevention among thirty adults with prediabetes. All participants will receive 12 weekly virtual intervention sessions over the course of three months, facilitated by a trained DPP lifestyle coach who is from the same cultural community and can deliver the material in either Arabic or English. The primary feasibility measure is acceptability, as measured by intervention session attendance. Other outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline and three months at NYU Abu Dhabi, where study staff will assess weight, hemoglobin A1c, diet, and physical activity.
